I am a friend or relative of resident

My friend resides at Live Oak and they take great care of him. He is happy and well. The staff is great, they really care about the residents and it shows. The owner is great and she keeps everything in line. I love this place and would definitely place my loved ones there and recommend everyone else to as well. A+

Part of the reason of choosing this facility is the financial situation. Live Oak accepts more money from Medicaid than other places do. That was a critical element to it. The staff is very good and very caring. I'm really pleased with them. The rooms are OK and reasonable. Their activity includes bingo, exercises, walking, talking, cooking, and singing. The dining room is nice. They could use more staff though.

I am the guardian for my disabled brother. Ken started going to Live Oak in 2004, as a day facility. As a care giver over several years of respite care my health declined and Ken started to stay over night with Live Oak. The care is second to none, the staff loves and care for everyone there like they were family. I had a lot of experience witH assisted living facilities caring over eight years for my mother who had AlZ. As facilities go Live Oak manor addresses any issue I have and resolves them ASAP. My brother has been a guest and resident at Live Oak since 2004, I live back and forth in New Jersey, when I come to Florida and check on Ken I find him not just existing, he is thriving, happy, well taken care of and most importantly loved. The staff at Live Oak is professional, caring, trained, and loving to all the residence. I wish I had known about them when my mother need care.. Placing your loved one in a strangers hands can be very hard, the staff at Live Oak are truly angels on earth.

Not recommended. This is a memory unit, with mostly dementia and alzheimers patients. It is understaffed and neglectful. The owner is rarely there, inexperienced, and untrained. Most of the staff mean well, but there are too few of them to assist the residents as needed for basics, such as sipping water or bathroom breaks when needed. Rooms are cramped and not set up for handicapped. Food is frozen/processed. There is no library, nor private dining area, and the "grounds" consist of a parking lot. It is, at best, amateurish, and at worst, negligent. Google the full name and read the State citations. There are better places for your loved one. Keep looking.
